Cannabis for medical use has been successfully incorporated into Czech clinical practice, especially in the fields of algesiology and neurology. Under the current legislation, medical cannabis can also be used in dermatology in the indication surface treatment of dermatoses and mucosal lesions. However, this use is so far neglected, mainly due to the lack of a standardized procedure for the preparation of dermal dosage forms in pharmacies and also due to the unavailability of standardized medicinal cannabis extracts, which are available abroad. However, influencing the endocannabinoid system topically at the skin level provides an interesting pharmacological target for a number of skin diseases. The present review aims to summarize the available information and the potential use of medical cannabis in topical dermal application.

Keywords: cannabis, CBD, THC, dermatology, topical application
